Julie Steffann serves as Professor of Genetics at the University of Paris since 2016 and Hospital Practitioner in the Genetics Department of Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital since 2006. She has directed the Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis Laboratory since 2003, leading translational research bridging clinical genetics and embryonic development.
Her research centers on mitochondrial DNA abnormalities, specifically investigating mutation impacts on early human embryo-fetal development and pioneering prevention/treatment methodologies for mitochondrial disorders. Key focus areas include mtDNA segregation dynamics, epigenetic regulation in preimplantation embryos, and clinical manifestations of mitochondrial diseases through multi-omics approaches.
Recent publications (2018-2024) reveal consistent exploration of mitochondrial genetics across developmental biology, reproductive medicine, and clinical neurology. Dominant themes include mtDNA heteroplasmy transmission in placental tissues, epigenetic biomarkers in embryo development, and immune dysregulation in genetic syndromes like incontinentia pigmenti.
